The Coins All sixteen coins belong to a class of Iron Age coins known as 'Flat Linear I' potins. While the majority of Iron Age coins were produced by striking a gold, silver or bronze blank between a pair of dies, potins were instead cast in moulds and made from a lead/tin-rich bronze alloy. Although highly abstract, it is clear that their designs copied earlier types which depicted a human head and a butting bull, originally derived from the coinage of the Greek city of Massalia (Marseille, France). Flat Linear potins were produced in Kent and the south-east in the mid first ce…

On 19th December 2007, Mr. Craig Mills discovered a hoard of two bronze bowls and a bronze wine strainer while metal detecting at Langstone, Newport. A complete wooden and bronze tankard was also discovered by the finder at the same time and within a few metres (estimated at 25 feet by the finder, but established through follow up survey and investigation as 12.8m) of the hoard. The discoveries were made in a field under pasture, which had not been ploughed within living memory, in a low-lying area prone to water-logging. The finder promptly reported his discoveries to the National Rom…

An Early Iron Age hoard consisting of seven objects including: one copper alloy horse-bit, one fragment of a copper alloy ingot, one ring, one harness fitting and two axe/chisel blade fragments. Description 1. Copper alloy ?object irregularly shaped fragment. The pattern of the three parallel semi-circular impressions on one side of the fragment indicate that this is not a simply ingot fragment but may well have been used in the manufacture of an object. The three roughly rectangular impressions on other sides appear to support this interpretation. Further cleaning might improve t…

Interim information on the hoard for the PAS & Treasure Annual Report launches in March 2020: This hoard comprises a copper alloy bowl, the fittings from a copper alloy bucket, and part of a clay pot. Buckets such as this one are usually found in high-status cremation graves from the mid-first century BC, alongside other pots, jugs and pans. These were drinking sets, used for serving mead, wine or beer at feasts. Perhaps the deceased hosted such feasts in life, or maybe this was a way for the living to share the funeral feast with them. Several such graves are known in Kent, and …
